Prominent speakers from Australia, England, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, the US, and Hong Kong shared their views on corporate governance and accounting disclosure in an increasingly globalized world with their audience at the Third Symposium on Corporate Governance and Disclosure, held on 1st and 2nd February in the grand ballroom of Harbour Plaza Hong Kong. The event, which attracted over a hundred delegates, was jointly organized by the Master of Accountancy Programme and the Centre for Accounting Disclosure and Corporate Governance of the School of Accountancy.

The aim of the conference was to facilitate a better understanding of the challenging issues in the governance of listed companies and highlight the many hurdles that Hong Kong still needs to overcome before it can realize its aspiration to be the paragon of corporate governance in the region. Two front-line regulators, Mr. Ashley Alder, Executive Director of Corporate Finance at the Securities and Futures Commission, and Ms. Karen Lee, Executive Vice-President for Listing Regulation and Risk Management at the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, made candid presentations of corporate governance in Hong Kong.
